MARIAN JOHANNA DORMAAR
November 1, 1935 – August 5, 2012
Marian is survived by her children, Steven (Karen), Paul (Louise) and Judi (Richard); grandchildren Sean, Mandy, Andy, Janelle, Jamie, Nicholas, and Peter; great grandchildren Adrian and Logan. She has one sister, Lide who resides in the Netherlands.
Marian was born in Indonesia and spent 5 years of her childhood in a concentration camp during the war. When the war ended, with the aid of the Red Cross, the family made their way over to the Netherlands. Marian lived there until she chose to come to Canada and you could not have asked for a prouder Canadian!
Marian was a very well known horticulturist in Southern Alberta. She gave her knowledge lovingly and in abundance. Whatever you “needed” the plants to do for you, she would find you the perfect fit! It was only last year that Marian decided, at the age of 77, that perhaps it was time to retire from her work as a horticulturist and enjoy her own yard! Marian’s yard, a stunning masterpiece, and enjoyed by so many. People came for the beauty, the knowledge, the peacefulness, the friendship, the resting… Marian’s door was always open to everyone.
Regardless of the challenges she faced in her own lifetime, Marian’s beautiful spirit always won! Her philosophy in life was to work hard, be loving, kind and respectful, volunteer your time and ALWAYS have fun! Marian loved to laugh, to sing and to spread her warm smile to everyone. If you ever passed Marian in her car, you would always see one big dog in the front and another big dog in the back. Marian’s home was a full menagerie of animals over the years.
Her gift of kindness and warmth and acceptance will go on in the hearts of many. In memory of Marian, please go and buy someone some flowers to brighten their day!
Marian’s family would be honoured if you would join us for a “Garden Celebration of Life”. We are hosting an open house on Sunday, August 19th, from 1:00 – 4:00pm at 634 – 15th Street South.
To all the staff at St. Michael’s Palliative Care Unit…thank you…for the love, the kindness, the respect, the dignity, the hugs, and the smiles you gave to Marian and to our family. You always knew what each of us needed. There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for the gift of each of you.

WINTEMUTE
May 14th, 1922 – August 5th, 2012
MRS. MAGDALINE MARY WINTEMUTE passed away after a brief illness at the Fort Macleod Extendicare at the age of 90 years.
She was born in Carmel, Saskatchewan and spent most of her childhood in Wembly. Alberta, where she graduated with honors from the Wembly High School. In the early forties while working at her father’s North Star Service Station she met her favorite fella, Adrian (Junior), whom she married on March 29th, 1944.
Puggie was a very talented, hard working lady who tried her hand at many things unusual for women in her day. The first she delivered gas for her father during the war, this undoubtedly was the beginning of her lifelong love of anything with wheels, cattle trucks, grain trucks and ultimately the school bus which she drove for many years. Indoors she was an avid collector, reader, crib player, diarist, superb cook and passionate rooter for "her" Theoron and the Calgary Flames. Her enjoyment of sports often led her outside where she participated in baseball, curling, fishing and camping as well as riding a steer in a rodeo in her younger days.
An outgoing individual with a great sense of humor, Puggie made friends wherever she went, leaving many to cherish her memory.
Puggie is survived by her children, Dianne (Al) Yarmoloy of Claresholm, Cameron (Colleen) Wintemute of Lethbridge, daughter-in-law Laurel Wintemute of Calgary. Grandchildren Tamara (Derek-Alex, Zach) Connick, Jennifer (Rob-Dylan, Josh) Wachtler, Chad (Julie-Quinn) Yarmoloy, Ryan (Kerri-Ryker) Trotter, Marci (Wes-Kayla, Hayley, Jason, Janelle) Stockton and Scott Wintemute. Her sister Mabel Loyst, sisters-in-law Mable Pitchko, Marion (Stan) Wright, Patsy Wintemute and Agnes Sailor, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Puggie was predeceased by her parents, Andrew and Anna Pitchko, husband Junior, son Larry, brothers Roman and Arthur, sister Blanche Tomik, brothers and sisters-in-law Loid and Herb (Edith) Wintemute, Ariel (John) McLaren and grandsons Cameron Wintemute and Quinn Yarmoloy.
A Celebration of Puggie’s life will be held in early September.
In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of one’s choice would be greatly appreciated.
